Why on earth would I want to "show off" my grow skills? I suppose that sort of thing might make sense if you were entering your buds into a contest, but I'm not, and never will be. The only person I need to impress is myself. If others like it, that's great, but if not, I'm not going to worry about it.
I could be wrong, but I think what the OP is really after, is recommendations from experienced folks on their favorite personal strains; the premise of blowing away friends etc just a premise [ I hope ].
But I've wondered the same thing. If I were doing the premise thing, it would be the always reliable "stuck on a deserted island with a] one woman b] one music recording, and in this case c] - only one magic bean [ a reg that is gtd to germ and be a girl ] that would be your only supply. What would it be?
